Whats up fam!!!!!

Happy Vday hahha! No they don't celebrate valentines day here but they have a different holiday coming up that is called Dia Das Namoradas. This holiday is pretty much the same thing as Vday. But ya mom Carnaval was pretty crazy here the last two days of it. Last Tuesday me and my comp were working a ton and lost track of time so we got home late and the area where they have the big party is on our street so we have to pass by there to get home haha so I told my comp "just look down and walk fast."  It was pretty crazy. This holiday used to be a religious holiday that gave people a day to sin and then three days to repent and become clean. Well it has changed a ton. Now people take the holiday for two weeks. What I mean by that is that they take two weeks and sin all that they can and then they take about four days to repent. 

But about your question ya where my apartment is its pretty loud but its nice sometimes cause I don't have trouble waking up haha. But last week we had another good week. We baptised 5 people. Fernanda who has a baby and her two brothers, Fernando 17 and Felipe 10 ill send a pic! Last week I got a call from the assistant asking me what I'm doing in my area that's working so well. Then yesterday I got a call from my old comp W Silvia who is also an assistant. So me and my comp have really seen the blessings in our area this transfer. Its so cool to see that every time we go and visit these people they are always wanting to know more. When we leave they are wanting to study the things we leave them to read.  Yesterday was funny we have this 7 year old who has been coming to church with us and when we were baptising everyone he was almost crying cause he wanted to be baptized too. 

But its good to hear that you guys are all healthy and doing good. This week we have interviews with President Soares so I hope it goes well. This will be his last time for interviews before we get a new mission President. But mom where I'm at now is like 9 hours from Natal. But hahah mom, thanks for reminding me how long I've been out and how long I have left in the mish you are more trunky than me haha! 

Love you guys have a good week!
